Tomorrow's Opening Bell - Friday Sept. 26, 2008

Well, there's no way I could have predicted what happened after I posted yesterday.

John McCain suspended his campaign in order to go to Washington to fix the financial crisis. I've heard that he wasn't even on the committee that deals with finance. I suppose that could be read into the chart with Moon-SN in Leo opposing Chiron-NN-Neptune over the IC-MC Axis in the Opening Bell chart today. Midheaven = President. The Moon would have been passing over McCain's Mars in Leo which is a very volatile and erratic influence. MercuryRx and Mars are on his Ascendant if he has Libra Rising. I think that Obama's Sun is conjunct McCain's Mars which sort of explains the whole weird thing.

Nancy Pelosi, speaker of House came out and said that the Bail Out was passed. She's an Aries Sun that trines Pluto so she can match the Sun-Pluto square that's in the sky right now. Transiting Mars and Mercury Rx are on her North Node in Libra which is better for negotiations than decision making. (using Astrotheme chart)

Since the Market has closed the BailOut is again off the tables. Monica from Astrology Mundo pointed out in her comment that the Bail Out might fall apart as a result of the Mercury Rx and voila! she was right.

Washington Mutual has been seized by the FDIC in the biggest bank failure ever. Last one was in 1984 according to whatever Yahoo article I read that in. Washington Mutual should have failed a long time ago. The customer's money is supposedly safe.

Tomorrow's chart for opening Bell still has Moon (Emotions, Public, Security) in Leo (Risks, Speculation, Creativity) on the last degree. It's up in the 10th House (Government, Authority). Saturn is also backing into the 10th House now at opening Bell. That's its natural house. It's all about Government and Business right now and how controlling things are going to get. Saturn in Virgo might be helpful in that it insist that the Devil and God and whatever else gets into the Details be analyzed and systematized. Good.

So I'm thinking that the Jupiter trine Saturn basically means that the influence of the upcoming elections is what's keeping the Markets from tanking. Jupiter plus Saturn is a political influence. Both planets rule social interaction on a civilized level. They represent everything the Greeks and Romans perfected. Well, the Greeks. The Romans took it over the top, in my opinion.

Meanwhile, the Sun and Pluto continue to square each other and to rule the ASC and MC of the chart. Uranus rules the IC. That's a good aspect for getting the earth to shift under one's feet. Sun has the hard aspect to Pluto and Uranus has the hard aspect to Saturn and neither is making a positive aspect to anything.

The ruler of the Descendant, Venus, meanwhile, is very strong. She is still chasing the Ascendant. Venus will be at the apex of a trine between Moon and Pluto tomorrow. There's talent amongst the women. Sarah Palin shoots wolves from Helicopters and I just want her to keep her mouth shut. Perhaps the influence of women will make a difference here. Most of the women politicians I'm thinking of aren't very good with money. That's odd because there are some really great women money managers.

Values and Diplomacy, Cold Hard Cash, Women, Banks, Investments. There are lots of discussions about how the Bail Out can be finagled to make some good money for Tax Payers. Astrology Mundo lists one example in Sweden.
